In liver cirrhosis as compared with normal liver, genes THBS2, MGP, PTPRC, CD52 and DPT (ΔΔCq = 1.46, p = 0.03; ΔΔCq = 3.43, p < 0.01; ΔΔCq = 3.06, p < 0.01; ΔΔCq = 2.39, p < 0.01; ΔΔCq = 4.68, p < 0.001, respectively) had significantly up-regulated expression, while the expression of genes CXCL9, GZMA and DCN (ΔΔCq = 0.76, p = 0.21; ΔΔCq = 0.31, p = 0.31; ΔΔCq = 0.81, p = 0.056, respectively) was not significantly altered (Figure 2, Table 3). Here, MGP is linked to cirrhosis of liver.
